We Need Your Input…
A Note From Our Michigan Masters Team Captain – Corrin Buck:
Hello everyone! I just wanted to get some information and links out to everyone with the meets we are going to focus on for the upcoming season. As your team captain, I help with organizing the national level meets with Michigan Masters relays, team dinners and team photos. This year we will focus on Canadian Nationals, USMS Short Course Yards Nationals and USMS Long Course nationals. The Canadian Nationals held at the Windsor pool May 24-26, the USMS “spring” nationals at IUPUI June. 20-24 and USMS Long Course Nationals in Mission Viejo. Also close by, is the Pan American masters games in Cleveland July 17-20 but as of right now this meet is not sanctioned by USMS so I think this will not be a MICH team focused meet but still an option to race nearby.
Are you thinking you might go to one, two or all three? Let me know by filling out this google form. CLICK HERE or scan this QR code:
I am looking forward to being your team captain this season and for some great competitions for Michigan Masters. See below for some links to the meets/facilities for 2024. By filling out the google form, this will help your LMSC board to better prepare for a fantastic season.
Also, please feel free to forward this email to any friends who are not currently registered and encourage them out of “retirement” so we can field a great team at these meets. First Fall meet is in the books and next up is South Lyon. Let’s start racing!
Swimmingly,
Corrin Buck
